Isiah Thomas vs Murat Gassiev & Denis Shafikov vs Rances Barthelemy RBR

The gloves aren't a legal scoring area. :deal :nono

 

Nice shafikov going to the body and its effective

 

Round 10

Barthelemy is flipping the jab up rhythmically as he withdraws but Shafikov is storming the gates and trampling down the fence anyway. Shafikov just keeps plugging, leading with the left into the chest and building into either straight 2-1-2-1 combos that gain velocity on each shot, or mixing to the body. Barthelemy using lots of double-forearm shoves to preserve space so he can slide out and flip up the jab. Shafikov now looping the left from a distance and hitting Barthelemy on the back of the arm.

10-9 Shafikov

96-94 Shafikov

 

Funny thing is that we're now at the same score, through entirely different routes.

 

10-9 Barthelemy. Another clear round. clowned him

106-104 Shafikov

8-3 for the ruski

6-5 Rances.

Too many close rounds, no idea how the judges will call it.

 

Round 11

Shafikov is doubling and tripling his southpaw jab to stomach and jaw, and hurling the left in, sidearm, occasionally batting down Barthelemy's left arm with it, sometimes grazing his chest. Barthelemy is doing his slide and flip thing. Shafikov working the body well considering he is throwing everything without ever having a moment to set his feet while in pursuit, rolling forward. Barthelemy starts to showboat a bit at the end and land a flashy left cross after popping a light 1-2 meant to lull into the guard and then jerking back.

10-9 Shafikov

106-103 Shafikov

 

Damn barthelemy is just blatantly running n holding

 

10-9 Barthelemy clear. 115-114 Shafikov. Very close fight
